In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to choose creativity, rather than simply waiting for inspiration to strike. We open with the fascinating origin story of Photoshop—how a grad student's simple problem-solving evolved, through deliberate choices and refinement, into a revolutionary creative tool. This story sets the stage for this episode's exploration of how intentional actions, not just spontaneous bursts, drive meaningful creative outcomes.We're joined by Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, senior research scientist at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the new book, The Creativity Choice: The Science of Making Decisions to Turn Ideas into Action. Zorana shares insights from her 25 years of creativity research, focusing especially on the overlooked emotional aspects of creative work. We discuss why creativity is about continuous, intentional choices—both big and small—that help us make progress, manage our energy, and use our emotions as information.Together, we unpack actionable strategies to deliberately foster creativity in high-pressure environments, the science behind emotional rhythms and productivity, and how tools like generative AI fit into the evolving landscape of creative work. Zorana also offers a unique perspective on matching your creative tasks to your emotional state and daily energy rhythms.Five Key Learnings from the Episode:Intentional Creativity Over Inspiration: Waiting for flashes of inspiration is risky—real creative progress comes from deliberate, systematic practices and choices.Emotions as Informational Tools: Emotions aren't just happening to us—they're signals we can decode and use to drive creative action and problem solving.Creative Rhythm Is Personal: Everyone's daily emotional and energy cycles are different. Understanding and aligning your creative tasks to these rhythms leads to better results.Build Your Creative Infrastructure: Sustainable creativity requires supportive systems—idea capture, regular review, and collaborative feedback structures are essential.AI Is a Tool, Not a Replacement: Generative AI can assist with certain creative tasks, but the essential human skill of “problem finding”—asking the right questions—remains at the heart of true creativity.Get weekly articles to your inbox at BraveFocusedBrilliant.com.Mentioned in this episode:NEW BOOK!

Every pregnant person deserves the information—and support—they need to make truly informed decisions about labor induction. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Dr. Ann Peralta and Kari Radoff, CNM, co-creators of Partner to Decide, a nonprofit initiative improving decision-making in perinatal care. They discuss the creation of their free, multilingual decision aid that supports families in understanding their options around routine induction of labor—and empowers them to advocate for their values, preferences, and autonomy.   Ann shares how her own birth experience, shaped by access to education and privilege, sparked the creation of the tool. Kari offers insight into how the decision aid has changed conversations in clinical settings—bringing clarity, reducing bias, and fostering truly shared decision-making. Together, they illuminate how access to balanced information can reduce anxiety, improve trust, and shift the culture of perinatal care.   (03:02) What Is a Decision Aid and Why It Matters (07:12) Ann's Birth Story and the Origins of Partner to Decide (11:09) Gaps in Shared Decision-Making from a Provider's Perspective (14:24) Personal Values, Intuition, and Cultural Differences (18:19) Designing the Decision Aid with Equity and Accessibility (23:49) The Power of Absolute vs. Relative Risk in Birth Conversations (25:01) Surprising Patient Feedback: From Access to Empowerment (30:31) Provider Reflections and Challenging Bias (36:11) Why “Routine” Induction Language Matters (43:59) How to Respond to Pressure or Coercion Around Induction (46:16) How to Access the Free Decision Aid and Support New Tools   Resources Access the free Induction of Labor Decision Aid in seven languages: www.inductiondecisionaid.org Learn more about the nonprofit: www.partnertodecide.org For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro 01:39 Q1: I've alerted my wife that she has distortions, but she still has them! 18:53 Irrational emotions vs distortions 29:48 Q2: Why would someone complain about their job but do nothing differently? 47:51 Q3: How can I get over the loss of my husband? 57:33 Final thoughts Q1: Dear Dr Lisle, pop psychology advises men to validate their wives emotions but how do I validate something that is objectively invalid. I have taken your advice and have tried explaining to her that she has distortions in her personality that cause her to screw her perspective in a way that creates irrational emotions but that only makes her more angry. How can you get someone to see that they are interpreting reality incorrectly?   Q2: Why would a person constantly complain, get good advice and solutions, then do absolutely nothing? A person I know works a job they hate, that takes way too much time off them, and pays far to little. They complain bitterly and regularly to friends and family, get all hyped about changing things up, then proceed to do nothing but get back to complaining. I'd like to not give a damn but unfortunately I live with this person.   Q3: How to get over loss of a loved one other than “time heals all wounds?” I'm 38 years old and I lost my husband 10 years ago. Since then I've isolated myself and pretty much knew for a fact that I would be single for life. I tried going on a few dates but I wasn't attracted to any of them because deep down I know that I am still in love with my husband, even though ten years have passed. I feel depressed because I often feel lonely, but it's not a loneliness that can be alleviated with friends or family, it's because I miss my husband. Is there anything I could do to move on?   X: @BeatYourGenes Web: www.beatyourgenes.org Doug Lisle, PhD www.esteemdynamics.com Nathan Gershfeld, DC www.fastingescape.com Intro & outro song: City of Happy Ones • Ferenc Hegedus Licensed for use Copyright Beat Your Genes Podcast

In this episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO of Cynozure, goes solo and explores one of the most critical yet under-discussed business skills...decision making. Drawing on real-world examples, research, and personal experience, Jason unpacks why so many organisations struggle to make effective decisions, despite it being core to leadership, innovation, and progress. From decision paralysis to overconfidence, and data overload to gut instinct, he looks at the formal frameworks and informal dynamics that shape how choices are made across all levels of a business. The episode delves into the role of vision, bias, data literacy, and emotional intelligence, and outlines the essential skills leaders need to build confidence, clarity and adaptability into their decision-making culture. Whether you're leading a team, shaping strategy, or navigating change, this episode is packed with practical ideas to help you make better, faster, and more informed decisions.

Making Decisions for Future Asset Transfer and Peace of Mind

John from Illinois called in with a big question: Because Pope Francis has passed away, who’s running things at the Vatican in the meantime? Who's in Charge When There's No Pope? When a pope dies, things don’t go totally dark... but they do hit the brakes, hard. -The machinery of the Apostolic See basically grinds to a halt.(Think of it like putting the Vatican on “pause mode.”) -Enter the Camerlengo (Italian for Chamberlain), currently Cardinal Kevin Farrell, appointed by Pope Francis (RIP). His job is to oversee essential matters, like the transfer of the Pope’s body. What Keeps Going vs. What Freezes? Still running: -Basic operations in Vatican City (lights on, plumbing working, etc...) -Routine roles that don’t require papal authority. Frozen solid: -Naming new bishops or cardinals -Lifting papal-reserved excommunications -Big decisions like future World Youth Day locations -Canonizations -Anything else that needs a pope’s personal say-so. Basically, if it involves a signature that only the Holy Father can scribble, it’s not happening right now. So, How Does the Next Pope Get Picked? Patrick reminds us that no pope can hand-pick his successor (even if he whispers it to someone behind closed doors). The next Holy Father is chosen by the College of Cardinals, who gather in a conclave and pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Patrick took us on a nostalgic trip through the papal timeline: -Most younger folks only really know Pope Francis. -A bit older? You remember Pope Benedict. -Older still? Pope St. John Paul II, elected in '78. -Some even remember the super-short 33-day reign of Pope John Paul I. As Patrick put it: memory fades, but the Church marches on. It’s been 2000 years, 266 popes, and counting... each one a successor of St. Peter. What Happens Next? We wait. The cardinals will convene, the white smoke will rise, and we’ll get a new Holy Father. Until then, the Church is calm, reverent, and steady. May we all trust in the Holy Spirit's guidance and maybe brush up on our pope trivia while we’re at it.

Some decisions have a long-lasting effect. Sometimes that effect is positive; Sometimes it's not. . When you decide to get into or out of something, it's vital you don't set yourself up for failure and regret. 

In contemporary society, we face more choices--and more decisions--than ever before. This can sometimes feel like a curse as much as it is also a blessing, especially for those of us struggle with indecisiveness.  In today's episode, we discuss mindsets around decision-making that can help us find more ease around the little decisions ("What should I order from the menu?") and the big decisions ("Should I quit my job?").  References: Dr. Russ Harris article about hard decisions Sheryl's next round of her course, "Trust Yourself," starting on May 17th The Healing Anxiety Workbook April's Gathering Gold bonus episode for the Patreon: Emotional Support for Spring Cleaning Marie Kondo Happenstance Theory of career development Past Lives (2023) The Serenity Prayer Join our Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/gatheringgold

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips 0:32 Q1 Nephew is suicidal, but he called to tell me 09:19 The psychology of suicide 30:08 Follow up question from E355 37:20 Q2 My husband is addicted to marijuana – can he change? 53:07 Q3: I'm one month sober – can it last? 1:14:19 Conclusion Q1: What do you do when a family member calls you and tells you that they are suicidal?  Last night I received a phone call from my 35 year old nephew telling me he was suicidal.  Growing up he was my favorite nephew but I haven't seen him for over 20 year because he lives on the other side of the country and I was estranged from his father, my brother, who dies ten years ago. That's when his life fell apart.  Before that he was a very likeable, bright, college graduate, financially successful and an extremely fit and healthy young man.   Now he is obese, severely depressed, has an alcohol and gambling addiction and on multiple psych meds, just waiting to “get his meds right”.  He did read Anatomy of an Epidemic and did a 60 day stint in a rehab and tried AA but felt “he didn't need to be there”.  He was such a great kid so I'm heartbroken that his life has spiraled so out of control that he wants to end it.

In this episode, I'm exploring the sacred process of change—through the lens of yin and yang, action and stillness, doing and being. We're conditioned to believe that transformation has to be fast, loud, and driven. But true change? It often begins in stillness. It emerges when we slow down, listen within, and choose from clarity instead of fear. I share insights from my own healing and coaching path around how we relate to change, how cultural pressure can hijack our decision-making, and how feminine energy—when honored—offers a deeply intuitive way forward. This episode is a reminder that it's safe to pause. It's powerful to rest. And it's wise to wait for right alignment before taking action.

We're entering a future where AI isn't just supporting healthcare - it's shaping decisions, influencing outcomes, and acting on our behalf, often without us even realizing it. These systems are becoming digital twins of real people, powered by everything from lab results to behavior patterns, and the implications are massive. Jason Alan Snyder from Super Truth explains how your health data is being used to build digital versions of you - ones that can make decisions without your knowledge. He breaks down why this matters, how bad data leads to bad outcomes, and what it would look like to actually take control of your data. It's a powerful look at what's really happening behind the scenes in healthcare, and why it affects all of us.

In this insightful episode of That Will Nevr Work, Maurice Chism is joined by values-based leadership expert Rhonda Taylor Parker to explore a powerful and often overlooked question:How can individuals identify and align their decisions with their core values?Rhonda unpacks the quiet conflict many people face—living out choices that feel misaligned with their identity or deeper beliefs. She shares tools to help listeners clarify what truly matters, navigate tough decisions, and lead lives that reflect their authentic values.This conversation is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck, uncertain, or out of alignment. It's about discovering the inner compass that's been guiding you all along—and learning to trust it.

Today, I talk about the transformative impact of involving children in decision-making, emphasizing how it fosters connection, reduces resistance, and builds confidence. I share a personal story about my youngest child's request to be consulted on family plans, which led me to incorporate his input. I highlight developmental research showing that children as young as three can express preferences, nurturing their autonomy and emotional regulation. I suggest offering simple choices for younger kids and involving older children in more complex decisions. Ultimately, I stress the importance of making children feel valued and heard, which strengthens trust and emotional safety within the family. SHOW NOTES: Loved this episode?

Choosing Ourselves In Our Choices // Making Decisions That Are Less Accepted But More Authentic   In this episode, I'm joined by Dimitri Kyvetos, one of my longest and closest friends of over 25 years, to discuss how we can make choices that truly reflect who we are.   We explore: - The courage needed when choosing ourselves over cultural and family expectations - How our similar Greek and Italian backgrounds created pressure to follow "acceptable" paths - Why choosing ourselves builds inner confidence even when it feels uncomfortable - The fascinating truth that we regret the things we don't do more than the things we actually do Dimitri shares his journey of choosing himself by making significant career changes, including his decision to work for himself.   We also discuss his thoughts on traveling to Greece solo - a personal choice he's been contemplating but hasn't yet committed to. I open up about my own regret of not choosing myself when I wanted to study overseas in Italy. That decision still bothers me tI did travel to Italy, but never did it the way I really wanted to.   This conversation is perfect for anyone struggling between choosing themselves versus making choices others approve of. When we prioritize what truly resonates with us rather than what's well-regarded by others, we often discover new paths to growth.   What decisions have been calling you that involve choosing yourself? Remember that the choices constantly nudging us are often the ones we need to make, even if we don't fully understand why yet.   Join the email community // Get reflections, insights, and practical tools to support your personal development journey—delivered straight to your inbox. https://selfdevelopmentcollective.com/email-sign-up/   Say hi // TikTok // tiktok.com/@selfdevelopmentcollect Instagram // instagram.com/selfdevelopmentcollective/ Facebook // https://www.facebook.com/selfdevelopmentcollective/
